There is a reason coca cola is coca cola and there is a reason that the General is the General. Two billion swedes can't be wrong. ( I may be confusing Sweden and China). Go with the General and never fear for your brand being discontinued again.

I really don't have high hopes for anything General. Other than Oynx, just has never been something that really pleased me. But as General Billy says, at least with General, I would always know it will be there. There is some comfort in that idea, enough, I gotta see if can make it work.Originally posted by MrSnusNSnuff
But I expect putting any General up to constant comparison with Retro will make it fail. But time will tellComment

sage i thought you liked camel more than retro for some reason? I thought you ordered them by the ten pack?
btw if someone ever took away general wintergreen I would react the same way you are.Comment

I've found that Granit tasted a lot like LS to me. I'm not sure if I'm alone on this or maybe I just associate the two because I got them at the same time, but I really like both for the same reasons.
That said, I think you'll probably find the flavor of Granit to be a little strong.
I don't knwo about the whites though. I've yet to try them.Comment

Early on, I thought I might. But over time, the Camel started turning on me just a bit. Reason I love Retro so much is just how stable it has been for me, even when used day in and day out.Originally posted by tical00
So reason I am gonna put so much pressure on any possible replacement, use it enough to make sure it doesn't turn.
Horatio, I will post my thoughts on Granit white when finish the can in a few days. Obviously, since same company, I had high hopes for it. But funny thing with Granit, may like the regular more than the white. Reason I am including it in my test runComment

sage, I've been thinking since this happened that Grov White would do you well. I've only been through a few cans of Retro, and honestly as far as I can remember, it reminded me of a perfect mix between Grov and LS - which is to say, salty tobacco goodness with a bit of the smoke flavor of Lucky.
whokilledmyhooker: dude, you suck. While I maybe (MAYBE) agree that this whole thing is slightly overblown, sage (and you) can post whatever the f**k they want. If you don't like it, don't read it, but if anyone posts some rude, stupid shit like you did, I don't mind telling them to cram it. If you don't like sage, get the f**k out. He and his posts are here to stay. I really don't like that you attacked someone's post like that. Turn it sideways and shove it up your ass. I use asterisks because I promised ice I would tone down the language. I guess it doesn't matter.
Good job to everyone else who ignored that post. I couldn't do it. lxskllr, you will probably delete this. Your powers of moderation are pretty badass, btw. I like how you can add bold lettering to someone else's post
While I agree with the sentiment, this is the type of thing I think we'd be better off without. It ends up devolving into a back/forth argument that doesn't get anybody anywhere. I would respectfully suggest that anybody that has a problem with another member take it to PM if it's that big a concern. If it isn't worth the hassle of a PM, maybe it isn't worth saying at all ;^)

I have high hopes. I would love to fall in love with Grove. Just such a mainstay of the snus world.
And don't stress the other stuff. Maybe he had a hard day. I am over it.
But one point I do want to make. Of course I am making a big deal of it. I get to for one thing. And I am a "well known" member here to say the least. But most important, I have probably 5,000 posts here helping other folks, welcoming newbies and answering their questions, cheer-leading new folks on as they discover the wonders of snus. I have given my blood, sweat, and tears to help make Snuson what it is today.
So once in a while, I am gonna make it fu****ng about me. I have earned that!!!!!Comment

Word, sage. I agree. But 5,000 posts? You better get chadizzy to check your figures

Funny thing about that super power edit stuff.... as you all know I'm a straight portions guy. They are all I use. Never touch the other kind. Too messy. But going back and rereading my past posts NOW they are ALL ABOUT LOS :shock: :shock: :shock:Originally posted by Roolxskllr, you will probably delete this.

You go, girl!Originally posted by sagedil
Have you tried/what did you think of Grovsnus Svart? I know it's different than Lucky and Grov White, but it grew on me and now is a staple. That base rich tobacco/salt flavor is still there like the other Grovs....the Black is just a little more..interesting.

sage, while not comparable in taste to your holy trinity of cw, r, and ls, I strongly suggest giving a can of ettan white a shotComment

The snus comes in white portions containing 1g snus per portion and each can 22g snus in total. The portions are arranged in an attractive star formation in the can and have a slightly wedged shape (like General Onyx) to them making them a comfortable fit under the lip. The can is blue in colour and the artwork gold and white featuring the One Series branding. Upon opening the...14-09-20, 03:41 PM -
